The Republican party out of power

votion to Civil-Scrvice reform us the
old couplet represents the devil to have
been in respect to sainthood when he
was sick.
What the Republican party is when
it has even II remnant of power is
shown by the course of its Senators at
Albany. The present Quarantine Com
missioncrs, who are notoriously parti-
san and personal jobbers. have held
office for four years beyond the expi-
ration of their terms. The present
health officer, who is notorously mere
ly the heuchman of that political boss,
ex-senator Platt, has held over for
three years beyond the expiration of
his term. The present Commissioners
of immigration have held office for
moro than three years beyond the pas
sage of law intended to vest their
powers in Il single commissioner.
Governor Cleveland nominated un-
excaptionable men for these offices, but
a Republican Senate refused to con-
firm them. Governor Hill has again
nominated good men--conccded on all
SIDES to be such-and the Senate pur-
poses to chang them up" The Re-
publican party thus puts itself on rec
ord as not only treating the offices as
spoils, by holding on to them after the
people of the State have five times in
succession voted it down in the cleo
tions, but as maintaining in office
notorious ring sters who misuse public
trusts for factional and personal ends.

spoilsmen's actions quite browns out
their feeble piping in favor of "re-

In 1799 cmigrants began to flood into
Fairfield County. Pioneers of German
birth or descent predominated. The first
emigrants were largely from the vicinity
OF Lancaster, Pa, and the Ohio town was
called Now Lancaster. In 1905 the New
was dropped. Early in the present CEN
tury there was good deal of emigration
to Fairfield County from Germany, Hol-
land and Switzerland.
Next to Pennsylvania, the States of Ken
lucky and Virginia contributed most
largely to the early settlement of Fairfield
County, and the admixture of Teutonic
blood with that of the South has been par
ticularly happy in the way of Increased
population and Democratic majorities.
New England had few representatives
among the early settlers of Fairfield
County, and of course New England no.
tions and ideas did not take root here.

Simple, But Practical.

A novel method of measuring the de-
Election of railroad bridges has been
tried in Russia. An iron pipe one and
one-half inches in diameter was carried
along the outside of one girder. From
this pipe, on each abutment at tn o
pier, and at five intermediate points mt
each span, vertical pipes at the same di-
ameter branchcd out. Inside, and near
the top of each vertical pipe, was fixed
graduated three-quarter inch glass.
tube. the iron pipe being cut away on
both sides. The zero divisions on the
tubes were all the same distance above
the tlange on the girder. Before the
bridge was loaded the apparatus was
filed with water. the tops Of the up
right pipes covered over. and the water
was then drawn off until It stood at
zero in each guage. On the bridge
being loaded the DETECTION could ba
read with ease. --Boslon Budget.

The Indians still kept up their seige Of
the mountain, and II may have been sew
eral days before they learned that the
scouts had fled down the valley by night,
and found their friends at Marietta.
There remained but two points to ex-
plain. Who did the mysterious shooting
that sent tho three Indians that attempted
the ascent OF the mount to their doom, and
who was the nightly visitor that found
food for the scouts and the means Of es-
cape.
The mysterious visitor was tho girl
whom Wetzcl had encountered and tried to
drown when he was returning from Cold
Spring She had been captured by tho In
dians three years before, near Marietta,
and was seeking an opportunity of escape.
During the two nights Of tho siege she
mingled with the Indians as freely as ever,
and was able, by means Of the secret pas
sage in the rock, to convey food, water,
and finally DISCUSSES, to the two scouts.
She 1t was who concealed herself half
way up the precipice on the first day of
attack and shot the three Indians who

| A"o o"tsihctory Condition OF the CoogdSy
Under Democratic Administration.
One of the prominent devices used
by the Republicans in the last Nations al
campaign whereby to terrify the peo-
| pie was an industrious circulation of
the warning that II the Democrats
should succeed to power the wheels of
industry would refuse to move in their
sockets and things in general assume
the air OF q graveyard. A cheap jew
clry firm in Attleboro publicly tele-
graphcd to New York on the night be-
fore election: "If Blaine Is elected fill
our order; otherwise consider 1t cam
celcd." Similar cheap tricks had been
in operation every day.
But human nature did not radically
change after election. Men continued
to cat, to wear clothes, to live in
houses and even to wear cheap jewelry.
The wheels of industry, in fact, moved
more nimbly in their sockets than
before. It is even doubtful whether
the soft-solder man cancelled his order.
On the whole the condition of busi-
ness has remained satisfactory, and Is
so to-day. That there are strikes and
numerous disputes between labor and
capital is rather an evidence that
times are good than the contary. for it
is an old maxim to make hay while the
sun shines and to strike while the iron
Is hot.
The severe competition among man.
ufacturers has made it necessary to put
far greater stock of goods upon the
market than formerly in order to live,
while traders find it necessary to ham
die almost double the quantity of goods
in order to secure the gold profits. All
this operates to fulfill the great eco
nomic law promulgated by Josiah War.
ren. that the inevitable tendency of
competition is to make cost the limit
of price. AT this point labor is sure to
get its own, and Mr.. Atkinson would
have us believe that we have already !
nearly reached it.
Ours is great country. The sum-
mer sun shines down upon u mass of |
humanity rs contcnted and prosperous
as grumbling human nature will per-
NIT itself to be. The people have no
confidence in their rulers. They are
gradually unloading themselves of the
degenerate Republican party that
waxed fat and audacious on the leav-
ings OF the great war, and still bright
er prospect stretches ont before them.

found himself face to face with couple Of
squaws. He comprehendcd the situation
instantly, and saw that there was not a
moment to be lost in hesitation. He knew
that a yell from either Of the women
would probably bring fifty warriors to the
spot, and then his only chance for safety
and escape would lie in his fieetness Of
foot. 30, with the quiclncss of wildcat,
he dropped his gun, and, springing for
ward, he grasped the throat of each wo-
man in his powerful hands and dragged
them bodily into the stream of water, a
few yards away, and plunged their heads
beneath the surface, where he intended to
hold them till they were both drowned.

Cover him with your musketoons. men.
Let us see what the springold will have
to say to that" And the officer waved
his sword with flourish.
Almost as II their leaders sword had
moved spring connected with their
musketoons, score Of deadly tubes
were raised, the muzzle of each ono
pointing at that youthful breast. But
the young figure did not move; the blue
eyes might have flashed more darkly,
the thumb and finger stiffcned little
as they graspcd the arrow that would
have carried with 1t death speedicr
than that from the loaded musketoons
Of the soldiery.
"Oh. ay," cried the little archer, "T

The officers cheeks blanched to q
| sudden paleness, but, mingled with his
fear, was doubtless an admiration for
the castles young defender; besides,
the concession did not involve any sac
rifice of dignity. So he lifted his hand
in token of pause, and the second COM
mand rang out: "Men, recover your
arms!"
The deadly musketoons were lower

bow were allowed to slacken, though
the hands did not change their position.

the gallant sentinel that all was well.
The royal bird had flown, and was now
beyond the shot of musketoon and the

A smile of singular brightness crept
over the pale, stern face of the child de-
fender.

Then he unbent the bow altogether,
doffcd his Glengarry, and disappeared
from the bartizan. Within less than
five minutes the drawbridge was let
down, and the party clattered over it
to seek in the castle the prize they
were after. But the keenest search
availed nothing, or did they even dis
cover that they had been played with
in any other way than as daring boy

When the Government of the United
States employed the sturdy old Indian
hater and fighter to cut road through
Ohio from point opposite Wheeling tc
Maysvillc, KY, it expected nothing more
from that pioneer than bare passable
roadway, but he laid out two towns on his
road, or trace, as 1t was Called GAINESVILLE
and Lancaster, that have become flourish
ing ccntcrs of population, aud given to the
State and Nation some of its brightest and
best men.
Old Zane probably had no deeper in
tercst in the matter of colonization other
than to effect the sale of the land which
the Government gave him for his work of
road-making. He was given three sec
tons, and took one where his road crossed
the Muskingum, another where it crossed
the Hooking, and third where it crossed
the Scioto. He would have owned the
site Of Chillicothe, as he did those Of
GAINESVILLE and Lancaster, had not that
bank of the Scioto river been within the
Virginia military district or reservation.
Zane had good eye for commercial ad-
vantages, and he saw that tho place for u
town was on river and at the crossing of
his road, which was the first one through

had its origin in his enlightened selfish
ness, and after all does not the world owe
moro to what is called enlightened selfish
ness than to any other human quality. 1t
is another name for progress and for bright
energy.
Zane's trace was opened in 1877, and in
the following year the first white emf
grants to the Hooking Valley drifted up
from Kentucky and halted near the pres
ent site of Lancaster.
The pioneer of Fairfield County was
Captain Joseph Hunter, rugged, front
iersman who had the courage to push out
from his Kentucky home and build his
cabin on the Hooking when he had no
nearer neghbors in the Northwest Terri
tory than Marietta and Chillicothe.
Captain Hunter was man of many
good qualities and is properly regarded as
the father and founder of Fairfield County.
The town of Lancaster was laid out in
$500, and the county of Fairfield was or
ganized the same year. Marietta was
then twelve years old, Chillicothe babe
turned its first decade.
Arthur St. Clair was Governor of the |
Territory, but the darksomc plans for his |
overthrow were forming, even at that |
time in the minds of the willy Chllicothe
cabal, that was yearning and burning to
wrcst the political power of the Territory
from the friends of Washington.

A BIRTHDAY PRESENT,
Why Auntie Lu Cried When It Was Giveu
to Her.

Why Auntie Lu Cried When It Was Given
| to Her.
Folks do not often cry over a birth
day present, but Auntie Lu did this
year.
She had a dreadful fever and lost
nearly all of her beautiful hair; SO
that her head looked more like an old
woman's than like our pretty Auntie
LUIS.
Baby LUIS hair was just the color of
auntie's, only it curled in tight rings
all over her head, and only the day be-
fore auntie said to her: II should
think you might give auntie half of
Your pretty curls. baby. You would
have enough left them"
"Does you really want 'em. Auntie
Lu?" she asked, her blue eyes opened
wide in astonishment.
"Of course id :, midget. I'd give five
dollars for as much hair as half of your
curls would make-if 1 had it on nv
own head" laughed auntic.
The next morning, as Auntie Lu was
brushing her thin hair before the mir
ror, the door opened and in came Baby
Lu, with bunch of brown, silken hair
in her hands, tears in her blue eyes.
and pitiful, trembling lips.
"Here's dest half, near's + could get
'em. Auntie Lu. An, an mamma says
that l look frightened. Does IP''
Sure enough! On one side of baby's
head was mass of tangled curls. but
ON the o:her the bare skin showed in
many places through the ragged wisps
of brown. Baby Lu had divided!
"She thought you meant it, Lu."
said mamma, half-laughing and half
crying. from the doorway. 81 found
her just as she had finished and nearly
broke her heart by telling her that she
looked frightful. All that we can do
now is to have the barber trim it all
alike. You must have it made into
some sort of a head-dress, Lu. No ono
else can use it; and, really, you must
not refuse after her sacrifice"
And it Was a sacrifice, for Baby Lu
was proud of her pretty brown curls.
But would you believe itP Auntie
hugged and cuddled and cried over
that baby n long time before she would
take it.
And this is where she got that "rcal
curly hair" that every one admired so
much, long before her own came out
in soft. silkcn ringlets. = Youth's Conn

A Fair Statement of tho Causss That De-

Mr.. Blaine makes II mistake about

Frye, OF Maine, one of Mr.. Blaine's

at Houlton. in this State, on the 2lst of

of Mr.. Blaine's defeat fairly and truth

splendid laces, and put it on

on its skirt, and you will find
plenty of men and women who will
sec nothing but that spot Now, the
people OF this country, with an exquis-
